Last updated on December 5, 2022

Consider these small (under 1,000 sq.ft.) but comfy prefab homes for your next dwelling or an investment. Read on!

Prefab homes aren’t much different from traditional homes. They have all the amenities you need in a home but many upsides. Prefabricated structures can be mobile, tiny and large, customizable, and more affordable.

With home prices rising and real estate booming, it isn’t easy to build a home with less budget. These homes are not tiny but smaller than the usual five-bedroom houses. Homes under 1,000 sq. ft. usually come with up to 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. They are ideal for anyone who wants to downsize or build a rental home.

Here’s a list of top manufacturers of high-quality, uniquely-designed, durable prefab homes under 1,000 sq. ft. in total floor size. Check this list for bigger homes if you prefer, or this list of smaller homes over 700 sq. ft.
